Yours, mine, and maybe two others. Great looking rifle! Good score.

I've been told 1500 made in that configuration. I'd like to know how many were made in the 99A saddlegun model.

...and now to find ammo. Worst case I can fire form some 30-30 to use. Curious, has anyone reloaded 375 WIn using Hornady's 225gr Interlock SP-RP? I am going to contact Hornady to ask if this bullet will open up ok on deer at the 1900-2250 fps velocity range ... I think it should.

Shooting a little low their Roy. Might want to adjust those sights a little...

Seriously though Roy, you seem to be very knowledgeable on the 375s. Do you have any data on how many 375s Savage made and how many of those were As vs. 99-375s?

I don't gather stats on them. Not that there's a thing wrong with that.
I've seen two 99A's to 20 99-375's. I wonder how that compares to the rest of these guys??? Maybe we could get a consensus.
Just sold a 99% 99A a few weeks ago, probably the last one I'll see for a while!

I have two .375 99-A's. Have seen many of the 99-375 Brush for sale.
I have not heard of any stated quantities for either model version or calibers. Since these were made in the "A Series" serial range (whatever firearm came across the finish line got the next serial number) there is no way to even guess at the number produced.

I did a google advanced search using "Savage 99 375" images. Looking through them all I counted 7 99-375s and 6 99As. If that is representative, the counts may be closer.
